Welcome to the Newscloud framework

NewsCloud is an open-source Facebook Connect Website and Facebook Application that brings the power of community to news organizations. It is powered in part by technology funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.Funding for our open source development will continue through April 30, 2012.

Post Installation

You can now run your application in the typical rails fashion by doing:

ruby script/server

or by whatever means you normally use.

You must set up an administrator. First, visit your Facebook application or website and register as a user. Then, visit the administration site e.g. http://my.site.com/admin and make yourself an administrator e.g. goto the Members -> Users tab and edit your user account to make you an admin.

Next Steps

Now that you are an admin user, you can configure your home page by going to the tab Front Page -> Build Layout -> Choose Widgets
For more information about configuring you home page, read our Widget Builder Guide
